Abstract

An agricultural system includes a header and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an indication to operate the agricultural system in a non-harvesting mode, output a first signal to set the header in a set profile upon initialization of the non-harvesting mode, receive sensor feedback indicative of an obstacle position of an obstacle relative to the header while the agricultural system operates in the non-harvesting mode, and output a second signal to adjust the header to deviate from the set profile based on the sensor feedback while the agricultural system operates in the non-harvesting mode.
